There were already quite a few boats on the water when I got there. The water level is MUCH lower than it was last year. I took the temperature near the shore in the shallow water and it came out 73 degrees.

I loaded up my Safer Swimmer and took off. I didn't have a whole lot of time, so I was just going to stay in for an hour or so. I didn't have a watch so I relied on "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" to give me an idea how far and how long I had been swimming. From 99 down to 0 takes me about half an hour to go through when swimming, which also ends up being about a mile. I used the line of buoys for part of the time, but also went out of the bay on both sides to get in the distance I wanted.

Trying to look cool after my swim.

I ended up with about 2.25 miles in 1:15 and made it to the restaurant just in time for a delicious lunch. As I was leaving the reservoir, the boat traffic was absolutely CRAZY! I probably wouldn't have swam at all if it had been that busy when I got there. Even in the wakeless area, there were boats coming in and out quite a bit.
